SAFETY INFORMATION
Read and understand this owner’s manual before operating your
generator. It will help you avoid accidents if you get familiar with your
generator’s safe operation procedures.
WARNING
Generator exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a
poisonous gas that can kill you.
You CANNOT smell or see this gas.
• Use the generator outdoors, away from open windows, vents, or
doors that could allow the carbon monoxide gas to come indoors.
Keep the generator at least 1 meter (3 feet) away from any
structure or building during use.
• NEVER use a generator indoors, including in homes, garages,
basements, crawl spaces, and other enclosed or partially-
enclosed areas, even with ventilation. Opening doors and
windows or using fans will not prevent carbon monoxide build-up
in the home.
• NEVER use a generator in enclosed or partially-enclosed spaces.
Generators can produce high levels of carbon monoxide very
quickly. When you use a portable generator, remember that you
cannot smell or see carbon monoxide. Even if you can’t smell
exhaust fumes, you may still be exposed to carbon monoxide.
• NEVER operate the generator in an explosive atmosphere, near
combustible materials or where ventilation is not sufcient to carry
away exhaust fumes. Exhaust fumes can cause serious injury or
death.
• If you start to feel sick, dizzy, or weak while using a generator,
get to fresh air RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT DELAY. The carbon
monoxide from generators can rapidly lead to full incapacitation
and death.
• If you experience serious symptoms, get medical attention
immediately. Inform medical staff that carbon monoxide poisoning
is suspected. If you experienced symptoms while indoors, have
someone call the re department to determine when it is safe to
re-enter the building.
SAFETY

7
WARNING
Fuel and its vapors are extremely ammable and
explosive.
Fire or explosion can cause severe burns or death.
WHEN ADDING OR DRAINING FUEL
• Observe all safety regulations for the safe handling of fuel.
Handle fuel in safety containers. If the container does not have a
spout, use a funnel.
• Do not overll the fuel tank, leave room for the fuel to expand.
• Do not rell fuel tank while the engine is running. Before refueling
the generator, turn it off and let it cool down. Gasoline spilled on
hot engine parts could ignite.
• Fill the tank only on an area of bare ground. While fueling the
tank, keep heat, sparks and open ame away. Carefully clean up
any spilled fuel before starting engine.
• Always ll fuel tank in an area with plenty of ventilation to avoid
inhaling dangerous fumes.
• NEVER store fuel for your generator in the home. Gasoline,
propane, kerosene, and other ammable liquids should be stored
outside of living areas in properly-labeled, non-glass safety
containers. Do not store them near a fuel-burning appliance, such
as a natural gas water heater in a garage. If the fuel is spilled or
the container is not sealed properly, invisible vapors from the fuel
can travel along the ground and can be ignited by the appliance’s
pilot light or by arcing from electric switches in the appliance.
SAFETY

SAFETY
DANGER
Do not use indoors.
DANGER
Keep the machine clean and avoid spilling
combustibles including gasoline on it.
WARNING
Do not use in wet conditions.
If the generator should malfunction, grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• This generator is equipped with a grounding terminal for added
protection. Using the ground path from the generator to an external
ground source as instructed in the section labeled “Grounding
Instructions” in the Preparation section of this manual can be
necessary. Please consult a qualied electrician for local regulations.
• The generator is a potential source of electrical shock if not kept dry.
Keep the generator dry and do not use in rain or wet conditions. To
protect from moisture, operate it on a dry surface under an open,
canopy-like structure. Dry your hands if wet before touching
the generator.
WARNING
THERE IS A PERMANENT CONDUCTOR BETWEEN THE
GENERATOR (STATOR WINDING) AND THE FRAME.

9
SAFETY
WARNING
• Turn the generator “OFF” when adding fuel.
• Keep children and pets away from the area of operation. Do not
place ammable objects close to the exhaust when generator
operation. Keep it at least 3 feet away from inammables.
• The generator set must not be connected to other power sources,
such as the power company supply main. Protection against
electrical shock depends on circuit breaker specially matched to
the generator set. Due to high mechanical stresses only, tough
rubber sheathed exible cable should be used. When using
extension lines or mobile distribution networks the total length of
lines for a cross section of 1.5mm should not exceed 60m; for a
cross section of 2.5mm this should not exceed 100m. Electrical
equipment (including lines and plug connections) should not be
defective.
• Utilize safe proper grounding. Use ground wire with enough
electric ux. Ground wire diameter: 0.12mm/A.
• The generator surface has high temperature, avoid scalding. Pay
attention to the warnings on the generator set.
• Do not enclose the generator or cover it. The generator may
become overheated if it is enclosed. If generator has been covered
to protect if from the weather during non use, be sure to remove it
and keep it well away from the area during generator use.
• Operate the generator on a level surface. It is not necessary to
prepare a special foundation for the generator. However, the
generator will vibrate on an irregular surface, so choose a level
place. If the generator is tilted or moved during operation, fuel
may spill and/or the generator may tip over, causing a hazardous
situation.
• Proper lubrication cannot be expected if the generator is operated
on a steep incline or slope. In such a case, piston seizure may
occur even if the oil is above the upper level.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury, read this operator’s
manual completely before using.
When using this product, the following basic
precautions should always be followed.

10
• Pay attention to the wiring or extension cords from the generator to
the connected device. If the wire is under the generator or in contact
with vibrating part, it may break and possibly cause a re, generator
burnout, or electric shock hazard. Replace damaged or worn cords
immediately.
• Do not operate in rain, in wet or damp conditions, or with wet hands.
The operator may suffer severe electric shock if the generator is wet
due to rain or snow. If wet, wipe and dry it well before starting. Do not
pour water directly over the generator, nor wash it with water.
• Be extremely careful that all necessary electrical grounding procedures
are followed during each and every use. Failure to do so can be fatal.
• DO NOT smoke while charging a battery. The battery emits ammable
hydrogen gas, which can explode if exposed to electric arcing or open
ame. Keep the area well ventilated and keep open ames / sparks
away when charging a battery.
• The engine becomes extremely hot during and for some time after
operation. Keep combustible materials well away from generator area.
Be very careful not to touch any parts of the hot engine especially the
mufer area or serious burns may result.
• Keep children and all bystanders at a safe distance from work area.
• It is absolutely essential that you know the safe and proper use of the
power tool or appliance that you intend to use. All operators must read,
understand and follow the tool / appliance owners manual. Tool and
appliance applications and limitations must be understood. Follow all
directions given on labels and warnings. Keep all instruction manuals
and literature in a safe place for future reference.
• Use only “LISTED” extension cords. When a tool or appliance is
used outdoors, use only extension cords marked “For Outdoor Use”.
Extension cords, when not in use should be stored in a dry and well
ventilated area.
• Always switch off generator’s AC circuit breaker and disconnect tools
or appliances when not in use, before servicing, adjusting, or installing
accessories and attachments.
• Make sure the engine is stopped before starting any maintenance,
servicing or repair.
NOTE: Make sure maintenance and repair of the generator are performed
by properly trained personnel only.

OVERLOAD INDICATOR LIGHT (RED)
The overload indicator light (2) comes on when an overload of a
connected electrical device is detected, the inverter control unit
overheats, or the AC output voltage rises. Then, the AC protector will
trip, stopping power generation in order to protect the generator and
any connected electric devices. The AC pilot light (Green) will go off
and the overload indicator light (Red) will stay on, but the engine will
not stop running.
When the overload indicator light comes on and power generation
stops, proceed as follows:
1. Turn off any connected electric devices and stop the engine.
2. Reduce the total wattage of connected electric devices within the
rated output.
3. Check for blockages in the cooling air inlet and around the control
unit. If any blockages are found, remove.
4. After checking, restart the engine.
TIP: The overload indicator light may come on for a few seconds at
rst when using electric devices that require a large starting current,
such as a compressor or a water pump. However, this is not a
malfunction.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
The ground terminal on the frame can be used to connect the
generator to a suitable ground source. The ground path should be
made with #8 size wire. Connect the grounding wire securely to the
ground terminal. Connect the other end of the wire securely to a
suitable ground source.
A metal underground water pipe in direct contact with the earth
for at least 10 feet can be used as a grounding source. If a pipe is
unavailable, an 8 foot length of pipe or rod may be used as the ground
source. The pipe should be 3/4” diameter or larger and the outer
surface must be noncorrosive. If a steel or iron rod is used it should
be at least 5/8” diameter and if a nonferrous rod is used it should be at
least 1/2” diameter and be listed as material for grounding. Drive the
rod or pipe to a depth of 8’. If a rock bottom is encountered less than
4 feet down, bury the rod or pipe in a trench. All electrical tools and
appliances operated from this generator, must be properly grounded
by use of a third wire or be “Double Insulated”.
It is recommended to:
1. Use electrical devices with 3 prong power cords.
2. Use an extension cord with a 3 hole receptacle and a 3 prong plug
at the opposite ends to ensure continuity of the ground protection
from the generator to appliance.
We strongly recommend that all applicable regulations relating to
grounding specications be checked and followed.
DANGER
Improper connection of the equipment grounding
conductor can result in a risk of electrocution.
Check with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the unit is properly grounded for your local regulations.
